New Boston should be Paris....
Mount Pleasant should be Texarkana...
Laredo is misspelled..
Leaky to Del Rio,,,
Crystal City to Eagle Pass
Lliberty to Baytown or possibly make an Island outthere that couuld be Galveston.
Orange to Beaumont
Big Spring is singular not plural.
Mieral Wells to Fort Worth
Port City is either Bay CIty or Port Lavaca
Either move the border or switch Amarillo and Panhandle...AMarillo is in other territory..(Perhaps use Dumas instead of Panhandle and redraw that)

really dont like the look of Mason.... Agree that round rock is an Austin suburb and shouldnt be used ..

Game play issues later, but there some problems there too...

-text is too small, i have to squint to read it. (bigger map will give you more room)
-too much green space around the outside. increase the size of the playfield in the overall map.
-two yellow 'continents' are too similar in color. maybe make one more orange or more brown?
-text in the legend should have a stronger outline, its hard to read against the white background

The more I think about it Galveston Island should be on any Texas map. It is historically significant and would remind players there is more to the state than desert....Id be glad to help you with ideas on realism.. Llived in 5 of your 7 regions at one time or another

I really like the trees bordering the Piney Woods and I also like the Mountains around the hill country, but I think the part further west w/ mountains should be changed to barbed wire. It's very flat out there, but certainly is ranch country. I also like the use of barbed wire seperating South Texas and the Gulf Coast, since that region is famous for King Ranch.

Please put all map updates in the original thread so everyone can see how the map progresses. It also allows for a meaningful conversation about the map and limits the insane amount of clutter that would exist on this board if a new thread was made for each update.

While some territories have improved (like, Paris is a much better name for the location), there are still tones of problems, both with territories' shapes and locations and with how they're named. When I have a bit more stamina I'll go through all of them and tell you the problems, but you could do that yourself if you just compared YOUR map to a REAL map of Texas.

However, I think it might be best and easiest just to completely erase all the territories and start anew. The "continents" are fine, except that some need their names changed (especially the one called South Texas, or whatever), but many of the territories have serious problems. Perhaps the best case in point is Mason. There's no reason whatsoever for it to have that long tail.

Anyway, I really wish you'd take my advice and just either completely redraw the territories (not necessarily the continents) or simply go through territory by territory and compare your map to a map of Texas with all the correct city names in the correct locations.

There are some definate gameplay issues, but as others have said getting the territories together is step one...

Chnages that must be made IMO

The city is Big Spring not Big Springs (mistake is VERY common)
Sweetwater is one word not two

That barbed wire at the bottom is pretty good.. There is no place on earth flatter than Midland Texas.. so mountains in that are very unnatural...the barbed wire would be perfect...Dunno what you need to do to make that work

The long hooks for Seguin and Mason are very distracting.

If it was me, I would not use E/W teriitories in the panhandle... stack them N/S so that Panhandle is above Amarillo and accessable only from Amarillo...

I can't comment on names / area geography and all that but if you're gonna have mountains they need to completely cover the border. Also what are you going to do about the huge unused area in the top left?
